Marcantonio Franceschini (Bologna 1648-1729)Noli me Tangere oil on canvas145.7 x 98.8cm (57 3/8 x 38 7/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Collection of Dwight C.

Miller, Marcantonio Franceschini, Turin, 2001, p. 240, no. 137, ill.The subject, Noli me Tangere, occurs several times in the artist's account book, preserved in the Biblioteca Communale in Bologna (MS B.6). The present painting, which has been dated to the first decade of the 18th century, would seem to relate to the one commissioned by the Marquess of Exeter on the 4 June 1704 when Franceschini was still residing in Genoa and was working on the decoration of the Palazzo Ducale. A companion piece, Christ and the Woman of Samaria was also requested at the same time. These paintings remained in the artist's studio at the death of the Marquess that same year. The popularity of the composition is attested to by the number of copies after it. Three of these were known to Dwight Miller: a good studio replica of similar dimensions in the Palazzo Arcivescovile, Bologna; what Miller described as an excellent replica, perhaps partially finished by Franceschini himself, which appeared on the art market in Berlin in the mid-1930s; and a good replica of the lower part of the composition traditionally said to have been painted by Francesco Ange, which hangs in the sacristy of Santa Maria di Galliera, Bologna. Miller suggested that a comparison of the present work with the version the artist did of the same subject at least a decade earlier (Spinola Gallery, Genoa) demonstrates the development of Franceschini's interpretation towards a more sober, meditated composition. This came out of his intensified pursuit of the classical style: the handling is smoother, the concentration on clean, linear rhythms more intense, the palette clearer and lighter, and the pose of Christ more formalised. In general Miller detected a reflection here of Albani's Noli me Tangere in the Servite Church in Bologna. He also observed how in transforming the rather wistful pose of Christ in the earlier version in Genoa to one of greater formality Franceschini paraphrased the pose given to Christ in a Noli me Tangere by Lucio Massari, a gifted pupil of Annibale Carracci and suggested that Franceschini must have first studied this picture when he executed his high altar for this church in 1686.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A large Dutch Delft baluster vase and cover, De Paauw factory, circa 1700Decorated in blue and green with details in red and yellow with a peacock amidst flowering shrubs surrounded by scattered birds and insects in flight, above a stiff leaf border, the shoulder with a band of pendant motifs enclosing flower heads, the domed cover similarly decorated, 53cm high (cover restored) (2)Footnotes:Provenance:The Property of a Spanish Noble FamilyThe De Paauw factory was founded in 1651 in the east of the city of Delft. Marion van Aken-Fehmers in her seminal book 'Delfts Aardewerk, geschiedenis van een nationaal product' (2001) describes the history of the factory in detail. The success of the factory can be measured at least in part by the rapid succession of owners. From 1701, the Kam family took ownership of the factory and under the leadership of father and son Gerrit and David Kam, the factory flourished. Like many Dutch delft potters, the Paauw factory produced sought-after blue and white objects designed after Chinese blue and white example. Another lucrative branch of the production of the Paauw factory were pieces decorated in berettino with a blue ground-colour picked out in lighter decorative schemes of flowers much in the style of Nevers production. The ambitious Paauw factory was responsible for several technical developments in the production of Dutch Delftware, which also included experiments with polychrome colours in grand feu, which were very hard to manage. In this vase, we can see blue, green and yellow tones, and traces of the cold-decorated red too. From an inventory of the factory and house contents from 1725 and documented minutely by Van Aken-Fehmers (op.cit. pp. 160-163), it becomes clear that in the living room on a large cabinet, there was a large Kaststel or garniture of vases. It is tempting to think this vase would have been one of that type. It is noted by Van Aken-Fehmers (op.cit. p. 162) that the factory was producing eight-sided large garnitures. Examples of these kinds of polychrome wares are rare, and only a few vases with polychrome grand feu colours are known today, a fully marked garniture previously in the collection of Dr. F. H. Fentener van Vlissingen (1882-1962), is now with Aronson Antiquairs.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
